Converted Azorean Windmill

Wake up inside a red onion. Gaze at the ocean. Hike the caldeira and finish the day with a natural hot spring in the sea. Moinho de Pedra has been converted into four apartments. Three one bed plus a two bedroomed tower. I chose the tower, built over three floors, reached by a winding staircase made from freeform branches and polished planks. Folding shutters, oil lamps and candles provide extra romanticism. The bathroom is on the ground floor and the bed is slightly shorter than normal, but the exposed wooden structure of the dome and the enormous beams used to turn the sails makes lying in bed a dream.
